This Is Awesome...

Oh, and my publishers would like me to include the Amazon link so you can pre-order this wonderful, wonderful book. Now, normally I hate linking to ANYTHING that has to do with selling my own books... and this is no exception...

(oh, and I also have no idea how these words ended up in the middle of the page like this, but hey...)

Oh, I LOVE it!!! I mean, all the covers have been great, but this is probably my favourite hardback cover yet, together with the hardback covers of the first and fourth books (I wasn't so enamoured with Death Bringer cover, somehow).

Everything just ... works.

*admires**admires the gorgeousness that is Skulduggery**admires the artwork in general**likes the tag line*

Also, I've already preordered both the Kindle version on Amazon.com and the hardback on bookdepository, as soon as they became available (Amazon UK shipping costs are insane)... but somehow, seeing the cover makes it all the more real.

Tom, you could draw a piece of blank paper and make it look more awesome than famous artists could ever hope to.Derek, you could write about two people talking about stock returns (I actually don't quite know what they are...) and make it so awesome that several people would die from too much awesome!!!!

Across the land, normal people are suddenly developing wild and unstable powers. Infected by a rare strain of magic, they are unwittingly endangering their own lives and the lives of the people around them. Terrified and confused, their only hope lies with the Sanctuary. Skulduggery Pleasant and Valkyrie Cain are needed now more than ever.

And then there's the small matter of Kitana. A normal teenage girl who, along with her normal teenage friends, becomes infected. Becomes powerful. Becomes corrupted. Wielding the magic of gods, they're set to tear the city apart unless someone stands up against them.

Looks like it's going to be another one of those days…

IF THEY'RE GETTING INFECTED, THAN THE LAND WOULD BECOME A KINGDOM OF THE WICKED!!!!!

Derek, by the way, I saw your comment on the other post! I shrieked when I saw it... THANK YOU FOR SAYING HAPPY BIRTHDAY! AND THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SAYING WE CAN PROBAB LY ARRANGE TO MEET UP!

I have another request for you now...

Will you please say hi to Amanda? Pleeeeeeease? Pretty please (although making the Please look more attractive doesn't help)? Or, even better, you could call her China Pleasant. She hates when people do that. But coming from YOU? That would be hilarious.
